  1. We don't match up to Baylor very well
  2. We had to be "hot" tonight to have a chance
  3. Royce had one of his poorer games
  4. The game plan didn't work (weren't shooting well)
 
Baylor is a bad matchup for us. I have never seen a game where we have been dunked on so many times. Oh well. Crummy game but gotta move on. Go get 'em next game Cyclones!
 
Can't wait to get a big dose of Beast Mode Booker when he gets Acy in his backyard!

Agreed, but i will add that if the game isn't running through Royce first, ISU is going to struggle and Royce was way off tonight in all aspects. When he is off that bad, and Baylor is hitting virtually everything, ISU is living on a prayer.
 
We're probably gonna have to figure out a way to double team Baylor in the post when they come to Ames, because our post players couldn't stop them worth ****.

Gonna need a LOT better defense.

I don't think he was off that bad, I just think the type of defense they ran didn't play into his wheelhouse.
 
Zero enthusiasm, no rebounding, no emotion, (ties in with no enthusiasm) No blocking out, rebounds came to us as the ball fell. Chris Allen 1-13. The only real bright spot, Ejim, and Gibson, (nice job off the bench son)

Here are some 'calm down' facts for you regarding our RPI after this loss:

Before: RPI rank #39 (0.5913) with a SOS rank of #61 (0.5527)

After: RPI rank #39 (0.5918) with a SOS rank of #51 (0.5603)


That's right, even though we lost the SOS jumping 10 spots actually improved are overall RPI by a smidge. While the human perception won't be quite as nice, when the committee sits down and looks the numbers this loss won't mean a whole lot.

Really good post. That SOS is going to really skyrocket up over the next five games. Hopefully we can win at least 3/5 so that the RPI will rise too...

and again, we had more rebounds than they did :swoon:
 
When we made our run at the first of the second half Baylor hit 4 shots in a row that I am sure Hoiberg loved to have them shoot. They just happened to make them and we never had a chance. I think we have a good chance in Ames.
 
I'm not nearly as upset as I was after the Okie State game last week. Okie State sucks and we should have beaten them easily IMO.

Baylor is a bad matchup for us, no way to get around that. They are full of 6'9" and 6'10" long and athletic guys and we basically play with 4 guards and Royce White most of the time. Allen, Babb, and Ejim were all guarding guys WAY taller than them.

I still think we can get Baylor at home though if they don't make everything they throw up. All the dunks were depressing to watch and shouldn't happen even if they are taller than us if we play good defense. That will have to change for the next meeting.

Go KU tonight... and hopefully we can get OU and TT at home. Then if we can split between KSU and Baylor I think we're good to go.
